Just when I was getting the hang of this... I turned another walnut NE bowl. Tried to go a little thinner on this one, as it dried out the bark on one end pulled loose from the sapwood. The bark is still intact, the bowl is still intact, they just don't share the same shape. I tried putting a clamp on it and tightening just a hair each day, but that just made more bark pull away. I did stiffen the bark with CA glue, maybe I stiffened it too much?
So do I leave it as is and call it 'character'? I thought about pulling the bark off and leaving it that way. Curious what you guys do.
